An Act establishing a sick leave bank for Stephen Melchin, an employee of the Trial Court of the 
Commonwealth. 
 
 Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to 
establish forthwith a sick leave bank for a certain employee of the trial court, therefore it is 
hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public 
convenience. 
 
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority 
of the same, as follows: 
 
1 Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, the trial court of the 
2commonwealth shall establish a sick leave bank for Stephen Melchin, an employee of the trial 
3court. Any employee of the trial court may voluntarily contribute 1 or more sick, personal or 
4vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Stephen Melchin. If Stephen Melchin terminates 
5employment with the trial court or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, any remaining time 
6in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the trial court paid leave bank. Sick leave bank days 
7shall not be used for absences unrelated to the illness or disability that necessitated the 
8establishment of the sick leave bank as determined by the trial court.
